it's all over washington. we're at books about the tipping point. it's still there. so the fact that it has been disproved repeatedly for decades, for half a century doesn't seem to have slowed very many people down. okay. part of this was they already sort of discussed, but let me go into it a little bit more now. it's the issue about building a nuclear weapon for your country. the economic cost-creating it and failure to appreciate it has led to overestimations of a country's ability to do so. when you look at various countries as a number of people have done, what you find is -- once they get into it -- it's really hard to do. it took pakistan 28 years to develop a nuclear capacity. they went into it saying we're going to get it even if we have to eat grass. finally they made enough sacrifices and were able to come up with the weapons. of course, pakistan is pretty sophisticated country technologically, it took them a long time. rather more typical is what happened in libia. qadhafi, the dictator decided he wanted to have some weapons. so there's the ego thing. wh

perez from " losses -- from " washington journal joins us -- from "the washington journal" joins us this morning. what are the officials saying? guest: ranging from the director of the national intelligence, the cia director, the fbi director, it runs the gamut. if you bring them all in, as you know they have turned in reports over the last couple of days that essentially are sketching out what problems they have found inside of their agency and how they plan to fix them. the president is basically trying to go through those reports and find ways to address them down. host: this goes to my next question. will this be a meeting where he is mostly listening to cabinet members? or is he giving marching orders? guest: judging by what is in some of the reports, i would expect that the president might do a lot of talking. you see what is happening as many of the agencies are pointing fingers at each other and in some cases asserting that the system worked, at least they're part of the system worked. perhaps not a lot of taking the blame for themselves is going on. i think the president might d
